IDK to be honest but interesting piece no doubt

 

The pitting-lie texture reminds me of a contaminated or dirty die (e.g., excess grease). I would imagine that if it was a case of severe die fatigue there would be the deep artifacts shown, and there would be signs of die cracks and, possible signs of die breakage. It would be nice to compare this with examples of die fatigue. Does anyone have a url link such photos and pics, or even a good book that discusses die fatigue, with photos?

 

I was thinking the planchet didn’t seat in the collar correctly…imo…Spark

 

@Pickin and Grinin
I'm guessing you are asking about the appearance of the surface?..

Orange Peel Texture

https://www.error-ref.com/orange-peel-texture/

 

Very common on dimes as they are mass produced by the millions die deteration.... mad ,grease,dirt,orange peel effects all present at the end of a dies life.

 

If the question is about the broadness along the rim, I think I agree with this.

 

I'm thinking collar failure

 

What's the reeding look like on the rim ?

 

I have to get the kid to school. Will get some photos of the rim when I get back.

 

Sound good . No minor children here, but I do have two adult boys and I remember very well getting them ready for school .

I even drive my youngest to Wayne State University for 4 years ...

 

He is the youngest, but real close to getting his DL. Can't wait till I don't have to do it twice a day.
Photos coming soon.

 

Oh yeah, once he gets his DL you'll have a lot less to worry about.

 

@Pickin and Grinin
I can think of one more thing.
Slight tapered planchet.

 

Could be a tilted collar. The third side should tell the story.

 

There is a good amount of die fatigue.

I was thinking that it could be a collar issue also. There is some weakness at 12 to 3 on the obverse. It is slight but there.
Here is the area at United States, also slightly weak. The rest of the reading is sharp.

No, I am more looking at the rim 12 to 3 obv.
And United States on the reverse. The coin only shows a slight amount of circulation on
Roosevelts ear and cheek bone.

 

I am leaning towards that definition.

 

New pics of the third side.

 

I hear ya. For the past 10 years, I have had to sacrafice work time to drive and pick him up from School every day, every other week.
This is stressful as I can't get much work done
between 9 and 3 in a day. With a half hour drive each direction. Wed are the worst 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Worry yeah, young driver in a city of distracted idgit's on their phones, yeah.
My finances will definitely be better.
